Steve S nson was the winner of the SR raffle and was so eager to get his rifle, he texted me early the next morning to meet him to pick up his rifle. I personally want to thank each of you that sold ckets and made out raffle a great success. From The Personal Representative to the S.G.I.G Todd K. Crytser, 32 January is usually a me when I reflect on the events of the preceding year and evaluate the produc ve things that took place and learn from things that could have gone be er. We all need to remember that this Fraternity that we belong to plays a vital role in our personal life and well as our society in general. The strength of our Fraternity comes from its members and the dedica on in which they help to make it worthwhile. I challenge myself to be a be er servant to my God and church, to be a be er husband to my wife, a be er father to my children and grandchildren, etc., a be er friend to my acquaintances, to be a be er ci zen, and last but not least to be a be er Mason. I would hope that each of you would consider the same. In February, we will be elec ng and installing new officers for our Valley. I think that our Venerable Master, Todd Crytser, and his officers have done an excellent job in the administra on of our business and ac vi es. Thank you each and everyone for your service and dedica on to our Valley! I want to also thank all you come a end on a regular basis!
